REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON

LET US FIND OUR TRUE SELF

Chamdoen Chagee Reul Chatja -- Let Us Find Our True Self.
This is the main topic which Father spoke to 160,000 Japanese ladies
who were trained in Korea. It is imperative that we all know this
content. Therefore Father has chosen this topic for his sermon this
morning. Also Father spoke on this subject at the last leadership
conference at East Garden. It is very broad in scope, but Father will
condense it as much as possible. Please listen carefully.

Do you consider the world that we find ourselves living in today,
good or evil? (Evil.) Why do you say that? It is not simple to give an
answer, actually. We think that the world looks evil, and yet it is not
simple to theorize. It is largely because we are unaware of the cause.
Therefore the effect that we see manifest around us truly confuses us.
Always cause and effect are related. Whenever there is a cause there is
always a clear result. If there is an absolute cause, it will take an
absolute certain direction and will come to an absolute result. Today
men are living without the knowledge of where they come from, where
they are going and where they will end up.

Let us then consider why we can say that the world is evil. We can
see today that the world is filled with conflict. Why then is it bad to
fight? For one thing, if we fight with one another we never rise up,
but rather we fall back or deteriorate. Since this is a world of
conflict, it comes closer to the world of hell. Within a family, if the
members of that family fight then they divide and go down. There is no
way to deny that human history has been filled with wars and conflict.
This is true on the family level as well as a national and worldwide
basis. To fight means to perish. If the world in general is bad then is
America an exception? (No.) Then it means that America also is evil if
the world at large is evil. How about American men, are they good or
evil? (Evil.) How about you as an individual American? Are you good or
are you bad? (Bad.) Be clear about this. They are individually bad;
also, they fight and trample on others.

Americans very often emphasize their privacy. Is that a good or bad
way of life? (Bad.) Why is it bad? Emphasizing privacy leads very
easily to conflict with others. We see that fighting all around us and
even within us. Our mind and body are fighting also. Therefore, it is
an evil world that we are living in. Why then is it so bad to fight?
Again, the reason that it is so bad is that not only does fighting
degrade man's life, but if there is a subject of goodness of this
universe, He will not remain where fighting exists. Through fighting we
chase out our good God. Therefore, there is no good individual, good
family nor good nation.

God claims those who are like Himself. Therefore there are no
individuals whom God can claim as His own. This is true also for the
family, nation, world and even the cosmic level. There is nothing and
no one that exists on earth today that God can claim as His own. Things
and people do exist, but to God it is as if they do not exist in fact,
because they have nothing to do with Him. Is there even one individual
or one family who can dwell within God's kingdom? We can reason
clearly, that since there exists no good individual, family, or nation
here on earth, then in God's own heaven He is without any of these.
This is an inevitable conclusion.

Wars begin and take place, but they can all be brought to an end
with a truce. However, the war that is being waged within individuals
has been going on all throughout history. There has been no truce; the
fighting continues on and on within individuals. Viewing individual
problems in this light, then it is not money, knowledge or power which
matters, but the evil self is what matters. The world wars were
naturally very formidable, but the war within an individual is more
problematic than any world war. The individual war is far more
serious. When this war is raging between the mind and body of an
individual then religion, salvation and ideology do not matter. Even
within the religious world there is fighting. Within Christianity
alone there are hundreds of different denominations in conflict. This
is also true in all of the religious traditions of the world. When this
fighting is going on do you think that God can dwell with them?

In order to console ourselves let us consider that if the fighting
occurs in order to create betterment, for the larger objective, for the
larger good, then maybe it would be all right to fight. But to fight
for the sake of self is not good.

The Unification Church is participating in lots of fighting also.
But we are not fighting in order to promote ourselves, but rather for
better understanding, for a better world. In order to have this happen
we are exerting force. In other words we are fighting.

If a husband and wife fight, then how do you feel later that day?
Do you feel comfortable, happy and free? No. Let us imagine that peace
has come to the world and yet my war inside of myself has not yet
stopped. Then what good will the peace of the world do for me? What
relationship do I then have to this peaceful world that has been
coveted so much? All over the world we see many problems, but any
problem, large or small, all have the same origin: man or woman. No
natural phenomena causes these problems. These problems come about
because of men and women. Either two men or man and woman are the cause
of all these problems. Isn't this true? (Yes.) Each man and each woman
always wants their own way without conceding.

Who are the men and women who goodness desires? Who are the men and
women evil desires? What does goodness desire of men and women?
Goodness desires the end of destruction, the beginning of peace and to
invite God in. Again the question arises, do my mind and body live
harmoniously together with God inside of my being? The absolute God
resides within myself and so I also am absolute, because I am the
object to the absolute subject.

Therefore, the main problem is not the war that we observe outside
of ourselves, but rather the war within ourselves. This war that rages
within, destroying ourselves, is the most formidable problem in the
world. What about God, where is He? If He exists then how is it that
all individuals have become so divided? Why does He not help? God and
man are inseparable. God is the causal being and man is a resultant
being. The cause and result cannot be separated. However, God is the
center of goodness, and man finds himself at the center of evil. How
then can this be resolved? These are very important questions that we
need to solve. What is God's relationship to man? What do you call
that relationship which exists between the Creator and the created?
Father and child? It is a relationship of blood lineage in other
words. Do you really believe that God's blood is flowing in you? Do
you think that God's mind and body also fight? (No.) How can you say
no? He is an absolute being with one content, not two. When we refer to
God as an absolute God, it means that His mind and body are one. Never
two. Therefore we can refer to God as an absolute being.

However, the child of this absolute being manifests entirely
different characteristics. How did mankind become so different from
their Creator? God created His children with the intention of their
becoming ideal beings. How then did they become so completely
different? We, who are fallen human beings, when we take a spouse,
desire that he or she be better than ourselves. Then God surely feels
this way about us, His children. Do you feel that you want your spouse
to be ten times better than you or one hundred times better than you?
(One hundred times.) What about more? (Ten thousand times.) The
counterparts of love are only two kinds: one's spouse and one's
children. There are no parents who desire their children to be less
than they are. All parents wish for their children to be infinitely
better than themselves. Is that true? (Yes.)

If even fallen men and women feel this way, then we can easily
imagine what God wishes for His spouse and His children. If God's
intense love and desire is to see us infinitely better than Himself,
how must He feel to see us fallen down so low in conflict with one
another? This is not a concept but reality. Isn't it true? We are far
from what God wants us to be. How did this come about? Looking back at
all the past religious leaders, we see that saints and sages have never
placed enough emphasis on individual conflict of mind and body which is
the crux of the matter. Isn't that strange? But this is true. Without
engaging this realm, the human problem can never be addressed or
solved. We have to look at the root problem of the individual and take
this out. Where does this root come from? Is it from God or is it from
Adam and Eve? (Adam and Eve.) If so, then we are a step closer to the
solution. If indeed, it began with Adam and Eve, then God's desire was
not fulfilled in them. We can conclude that. Also we can deduce that
God has not been a part of man becoming far from His original ideal.
With whom then did this division begin? Adam and Eve did not really
know what was going on. But we know that there was an archangel who was
ministering to Adam and Eve. He is the cause of Adam and Eve separating
and their minds and bodies separating.

The fighting that we observe all around us has its root with whom?
(Lucifer.) That is correct, but it is jumping to conclusions without
enough steps to lead to that conclusion. There must have been a being
whom God, Adam and Eve loved very much. Who was that being? (Adam and
Eve.) More completely, Adam and Eve who perfected themselves as God
desired. They had not yet perfected themselves and so there was not a
complete relationship between God and Adam and Eve yet. If Adam and Eve
had grown into perfection successfully and manifested God's image, what
then would have happened? What is it that God desires the most? True
Love counterpart. God is very lonely, all by Himself. Without True
Mother, True Father would feel so unhappy and lonely. He would feel
that he had nothing. What about God? God has five senses just as we
do. But if he has no object, what good would the five senses be to
Him? The five senses exist for the sake of the love partner. Your eyes
exist in order to see your spouse, not yourself. All five senses are
the same.

Do you think that God needed a knowledge partner? (No.) He needed
His True Love partner. True Love is everlasting love. We can see that
God absolutely needs this love and for this purpose He created the
whole of creation. The crucial question is, does God have His love
partner or not? The answer is obviously He does not. Therefore, is God
happy or is He miserable and pitiful? Is He happy or sad? (Sad.) Is He
miserable or glorious? (Miserable.) The fact that God chased Adam and
Eve out of the Garden of Eden means that everything became chaotic and
different from its original meaning.

We can safely conclude that God has created such a magnificent
creation, including His partner, and yet today He has lost everything.
He has nothing from His original purpose of creation. This sad and
miserable God is having to listen to the Christians pleading with Him
to save them individually. These are the unfair acts that men of
religion are pursuing today. The cause and result is now showing so
painfully clear in these, the Last Days. Therefore there is nothing
which God can have the smallest attachment to. At the end of time God
wants to sweep everything away. He does not want to even look at or
think about any of it.

There is no question that God had an ideal in the very beginning.
But today, in these Last Days, He is witnessing a completely opposite
reality to what He originally desired. However, had Adam and Eve not
fallen, then God's absolute love would have been ours today. This world
would consist of individuals united in mind and body, creating loving
families throughout the world. Now we have to clearly understand the
origin from which mind and body began to fight. That is the root.
Clearly we have to understand this root.

Where did life begin? Where did your life begin? (Parents.) And
more particularly the love between the parents. Is that true? (Yes.) If
this love between the parents would have been God-like, then fighting
would never have taken place. Adam wanted love but Eve seduced him.
This was the beginning of this conflict. The motivation was the origin
of the fighting. We can conclude that the origin of this conflict was
false love. This very origin of Adam and Eve's false love gave rise to
all the conflicts thereafter. As a result everyone that exists is
different from God's ideal. God's desire was there at the beginning,
but due to some accident we are far away from this original desire. We
do not know God, we do not know our own origin and root.

In the Bible we see how God chased out His children from the Garden
of Eden. Adam and Eve's false love resulted in false love, false life
and false lineage. The lineage changed. It no longer came from God. It
was supposed to have resulted in True Love, True Life and True
Lineage. But now these two are in conflict with one another. The false
direction will wage war against any power that wishes to go in a true
direction. There is this insurmountable wall here [indicating to the
diagram Father has drawn on the board]. From Adam and Eve there are
eight different stages. The false life expanded through these stages.
In order for us to rediscover our true self, how many steps have we
lost? We have lost eight steps: the individual, the individual within
a family, the individual within society and so forth. We lost eight
stages of ourselves.

Have you ever thought in this way? This is so tragically true. And
just repairing oneself as an individual will not suffice. Even if I am
repaired, but my family is not, it won't do. Therefore, we have to
repair ourselves at eight stages and win over that before we can move
from false to true domain. How do you intend to accomplish this in your
lifetime? Who is the subject of false love? (Satan.) Then you know
enough to say that Satan is God's love enemy. He is the destroyer of
God's love. This is his main work.

In God's world there are eight stages also. We have to reach to
this point [indicating to the board] in order to penetrate to this
point. Each stage has a big boundary and wall. You cannot simply jump
from one to another. This is a natural prison within ourselves. As you
rise up it becomes more difficult. The wall gets higher and higher. As
difficult as it is from the individual to the family, from clan to
nation is more difficult. How are we to liberate this? This is a
practical, not a conceptual, matter. In order to come out of here and
enter into this true realm [indicating to the board] we have to escape
here and gain entry here. It takes a life and death venture in order to
jump from here to here [indicating to the board]. It is so difficult
that only through risking one's life it might be possible. That is why
the Bible tells us that only those who are willing to die will live,
whereas those who are unwilling to die will in fact die.

No human being in history has ever addressed this problem. As an
individual, I must be liberated first before I am able to get into the
family level. I must be liberated individually before I can belong to
the clan. Also, I must be liberated individually first before I can
belong to the nation, world, spiritual world and God. If I am not
liberated then even if I rise up to each level it will not mean
anything. This is a very realistic matter. When we go to the spiritual
world, if we don't liberate ourselves then even though heaven is right
in front of us we cannot enter. It is much more difficult to liberate
oneself in the spiritual world.

Christianity is teaching that through belief alone you will be
saved. That is completely unreasonable. That does not amount to
anything. Such nonsensical people are calling Father a heretic. Do you
understand? (Yes.) Satan the super destroyer is rampant. The Bible
warns that when we witness such phenomena then the end of the world is
near. In America today we see that individuals are devastated by AIDS,
people are living immoral lives, the family is hanging in threads.
Nobody has time to pay respect to the nation any more because they are
too busy paying attention to the individual. Satan has truly devastated
this country.

When the complete destruction comes, there will be a new bud of
life that will emerge. Although it may look humble, that will be the
Unification Church. The whole world will sink to destruction in the
Last Days, but a few will rise up. Their aspiration will not be to save
themselves alone, but to save the whole world and God also. These few
are the Unification Church members. Satan, the love enemy of God, has
destroyed everything. That same world which Satan destroyed, God is now
recreating. Do you follow? (Yes, Father.) [Indicating to the diagram on
the board.] Here is the point of transfer of the times. It is
confusing, but we should not become confused during this time of
transition. It took God thousands of years to create and it took
thousands of years for things to crumble to where they stand today. But
this is going to be mended in a few days.

The root of the whole problem was the sexual behavior. Satan's
world is an immoral world. Satan is the God of immorality. God is the
God of holiness and purity (soonkyul). Since the western world does not
have a very strong moral concept, then the word "pure" is as close a
translation as is possible. However, soonkyul is far more than simply
pure. This word in Korean literally means that you have to go through
so many trials but still keep purity intact deep within you. This word
in Korean means the clean lineage. There is no such concept as clean
lineage in your language. Do you understand? (Yes.)

We have to clearly teach the Fall. At least we now know the cause
of this confusion and immorality today, and the cause of fighting
also. Then we can more closely examine why mind and body are fighting
so desperately. Because of Satan the rift between mind and body came
into being. [Father draws and writes on the board.] Man has mind and
body. In his mind dwells his conscience. Even Satan knows what is
unprincipled. Mind came from God and body came from Satan, in a manner
of speaking. The conscience knows that the body must follow the mind.
Why does the conscience belong to God? Because the conscience is
vertical. There is only one ideal vertical and in God's world that is
plus. The conscience, which is an absolutely vertical line, enables us
to decipher right from wrong. However, the mind dwells within the
body. The body belongs to Satan horizontally, but the spirit cannot
help but live in it while here on earth. This is plus, God, and this is
minus [indicating to the board]. Mind and body.

If God is plus and Satan is minus then there would be no problem,
because they would be conforming to the confines of the Principle.
However, this body which is supposed to be in the minus position has
turned into a plus. Here is a legitimate plus, the mind, and here is
what is supposed to be a legitimate minus, but it has turned into a
plus [indicating to the diagram]. The body now is the root of false
love. Therefore the mind and body are in conflict. The question is how
to nullify this reality. Originally mind and body were to have been
subject and object. Had that happened then, just like a tuning fork, if
one had sounded there would have been a resonance. That is how
harmoniously sensitized mind and body were supposed to have been.

However, due to the Fall, they became plus and plus. We are very
much aware of conscience. Is conscience always the victor over the evil
body or is the conscience always vanquished by the evil body? What is
your experience? (Body.) Mind actually plays a small part in our
activities, whereas the body seems to dictate. Conscience is being
driven by the body constantly and is very sad because of this. Our
conscience knows to which world it is destined to go. Even though
today's reality is hell, still conscience knows that it is supposed to
dwell in heaven. That is what our conscience continuously reminds us
of. But the body continues to drag the conscience about where it
pleases. There should be an age of the liberation of conscience that
will come. Our conscience is fettered right now. We need to liberate
our conscience so that it may do as it pleases.

At least we are fine tuned now; we know where the problem began.
The problem began in the body. Adam and Eve were growing towards
perfection when they fell. They were in the perfection of the growth
stage when the Fall occurred. Once Adam and Eve had reached the
perfection stage then there would be no fall possible. They would have
had no other possibility but to go to heaven once they reached
perfection. We can see what is hell and what is heaven. [Indicating to
the board] This is heaven. Once Adam and Eve reached oneness with God
they would dwell automatically in heaven. However, now heaven is
empty.

Why did the evil body get the better of the good mind? It happened
because when the Fall took place, the power of the false love was
stronger than the power of the conscience at that time. False love was
stronger than conscience at the time of the Fall. That was the
problem. We see how powerful false love is all the time. When two
people wish to marry and be together and are prevented from doing so,
they decide to kill themselves. They would rather die together than
live without one another. Even false love is so very powerful. That is
the problem. But we have to have a strong conscience to be able to
counteract this. Do you understand clearly? (Yes.) You have to
understand why and where this Fall came about.

The conclusion is simply to destroy the temptation towards false
love the very moment that you detect that powerful urge inside of
yourself. This false love power which is stronger than our conscience,
we must destroy within ourselves. That is it. That is what the
religious life is all about, is it not? To deny the desires of the body
so that the conscience will rise up stronger. God knew this reality and
so God introduced religion into human life. Religion helps an
individual to suppress their bodily desires and uplift their mind or
conscience. The purpose of religion has been to destroy the bodily
desires and uphold the conscience. Therefore it is so clear that we
cannot be saved by simply believing in religion. The purpose of
religion is not to save us. Do you understand? (Yes.) Then how can you
be saved? Only when we connect with God's love are we able to go to
heaven.

If Adam and Eve had not fallen then religion would never have been
necessary. Do you understand? (Yes.) Without the Fall, Adam and Eve
would automatically have connected with God's True Love. Without
connecting with that True Love of God we cannot enter into heaven. What
is more important than religion is to understand how to destroy the
urge of the body. This is far more important than religion itself.
Believing in the Unification Church will not enable us to reach to
heaven. This will not happen for the very reason that Father has
explained to us here. Through connecting with God's True Love and
overcoming our bodily desires we will be able to enter heaven.

Let us examine what religion teaches us. Religion teaches fasting,
abstinence from food. Nobody wants to abstain from eating. It teaches
us to serve and sacrifice, but again human beings do not want this. We
are simply not naturally built that way. Why does religion command this
then? Because of Satan's influence we have become arrogant. The only
way for arrogant people to become Godly individuals is by sacrificing
and serving others. Religion also teaches us to make ourselves an
offering. The meaning of offering is to lay a condition by dividing in
half, representing good and evil. Blood must be shed and then the
offering has to be burnt. To make ourselves into an offering is what
the body hates the most. But if someone comes along with a knife and
wants to cut you into half and burn you alive, the body would hate that
the most. However, the mind is willing to go that way for the sake of
heaven. Then the mind rises up higher and higher towards heaven in the
spiritual world.

If the age of the liberation of conscience comes quickly, then the
conscientious people around the world will all rise up in power.
Because they will be connected with God's love they will receive God's
grace and power and opportunity. That is why we need True Parents. True
Parents are absolutely necessary. Why are they so absolutely
necessary? Because they help us to cut the ties with evil and to
embrace all the individuals and families of Godly attributes. Also to
embrace all the tribes and nations of the world and have them belong to
God, True Parents are necessary. The motto for this year was The Safe
Settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Era. The five
billion population will become one in the minus position. True Parents'
family settlement on the earth is a big plus.

God wants to have a big plus of the Ideal Family here on the earth
from which He can make extension. Settlement means this huge subject
and the five billion humankind in the object position. When every
family follows True Parent's family's ideal settlement they will become
object families. Settlement refers to taking of position. Now for the
first time in human history settlement here on the earth has taken
place. To live the life here on the earth which God had intended, then
we go to the spiritual world and fill the heaven that has been empty
until now, that heaven where God intended everyone to go. Settlement
means for this to occur all at the same time within one generation, not
only the individual family, but the whole world all at the same time.

Unless we live serving and centering upon True Parents' family we
cannot go to heaven. Do you understand? (Yes, Father.) Until now no
human being ever had the opportunity to serve True Parents. Therefore
we must serve True Parents and indemnify before we will be able to
enter into heaven. Do you want to become an offering? (Yes, Father.)
Suppose Father requests you, as an offering, to go to poor suffering
Africa. Then you should invite the poor people of Africa to come and
live in this affluent nation of America and inherit it from you. That
is an offering. Love is the entity that flows, just like air and
water. If they stagnate they become rotten. Does the high pressure
follow the low pressure or vice versa? (High goes to low.) How about
air and water? Same direction. In the same way love follows this same
principle. However, now it is stagnating because the people of affluent
nations stay only in affluent nations, whereas individuals from poor
nations remain only in poor nations. Who made this? There should be no
demarcation just as there is no demarcation with air. It just flows
freely. The individual-centered concept has brought about this
stagnation. This is Satan's concept.

If we are returning to nature then it means that just as high water
flows to the low, affluent nations' wealth must flow to the low. When
this happens, then the so-called, "world problems" will cease to
exist. Do you think it would be a solution or not? (Yes, Father.)
Individualism is really the worst problem. America is the kingdom of
individualism. God has nothing to do with that. It really must fall
down in the Last Days. Air flows through even the smallest crevice, as
does water. Then so should love. Wherever love is needed then there it
should seep in. If True Love wants to seep into your mind do you resist
or welcome it? (Welcome.)

We should have an original mind just like original water and air.
Original love should be that way. Now let me remind you again of the
topic today, Let Us Find Our True Self. How much have we deviated from
our true self? We lost everything and we don't even know what in fact
we have lost. Our mind represents heaven and our body represents
hell. Now you have heard Father's words on this subject and you have
understood clearly. Our life purpose on the earth is to overcome the
domination of our bodily desires and liberate our conscience. It is not
that we believe in some religion and therefore go to heaven. Then what
is the future of religion? Well, in future times it would become
useless. It would have fulfilled a role and then it would end. It means
where True Parents and dear children, namely all of us, live together
then there is no religion necessary. There are no problems.

Who created the border lines between nations? The border line
around America for example, who created it? American men created it.
God did not create it. The same is true for any border of any nation.
Individually we are living in hell on earth without peace. What is the
opposite of an individual? The whole or public. Who is a good person? A
good person is a public person and a bad person is an individualistic
person. We can define this very clearly. The age of liberation of
conscience will come. In past times we have seen that those who have
been born with a good brain ruled the world. But at the beginning of
creation it was Godism, was it not? God was at the center. Then during
medieval times man became the center. Isn't that true? Then more
recently, as we draw closer to the Last Days, then materialism has
become central. During the medieval times God was part of their world,
but they were very unclear as to where the cause and result was. They
just blindly followed God. Blindness inevitably leads to corruption. In
these times it is the corruption of man being central rather than God.

From the brain to power, that is empiricism [indicating to the
board diagram] and within power there is further uncertainty as to the
cause and effect. People came to realize that no matter how great a man
might be, he dies after 100 years at the most. Now is the age of
materialism and the age of science which denies human spirituality. We
are back to Godism again, but this time is very different from any
other. Father explains very clearly who and what God is and Godism is
no longer unclear. We know now, for the first time in history, clearly
about God. We understand very clearly today man's relationship with
God.

As well as Godism, we uphold humanism as well. Originally, human
beings' mind and body were to be connected to God and with all things.
Human beings are the central point for the connection of the entire
universe. [Father is drawing on the board.] That is the headwing
thought. Parentism is in fact Godism. Headwing unites up and down,
right and left, back and front -- all directions. Adam, Jesus and the
Lord of the Second Advent all come into one unified realm: The realm of
Parents. Actually headwing is Parentism after bringing the right and
left wing together.
From Adam's time to Jesus' time and the time of the Second Advent, all
connect with God [indicating to the board]. Centering upon Parents, the
right and left wing bring into unity and bring God and humanity back
into oneness. Godism is the vertical viewpoint and headwing is the
horizontal viewpoint centering upon True Parents.

From Godism to humanism to materialism, now all are brought into
unity. Godism represents the brain, humanism the power, and materialism
the body. At this time Satan works to have people believe that God is
dead. Now humanity may return to God and Satan is very afraid and so he
is trying to proclaim that God does not exist. Satan is trying to
prevent man from understanding the concept of a restored humanity.
Until now, ironically, everyone has had the common idea that bad people
always seem to do well in the material world, whereas good people are
always on the bottom. But now the time of liberation of conscience is
coming and good people will gain God's power and help.

Now the time is drawing close when the conscientious people will
rise up to make a good revolution to turn this world right side up. At
least, even if only for the short range reason, you should unite your
mind and body to prepare for this day. The Fall is the cause of the
conflict between an individual's mind and body, the conflict between
husband and wife, and the conflict among children. The Fall has brought
about all this conflict. The right and left wing are represented within
the children. [Father is drawing on the board.] And the Christian
culture brought about the bride civilization. When the bride unifies
the right and left wing into unity, then the Lord of the Second Advent
will come. This one [indicating to the board] represents the bride
culture, which is the Christian culture. Is that true? (Yes.) Three
entities become one here, [indicating to the board] then unifying the
children and becoming one with the children. Such a world will bring
unity between husband and wife and through such a process the
individual liberation will take place.

The reconciliation between the children, left and right wing, must
take place. After this the unification between spouses will take place
and restore the family. Then the individual will be restored. It is in
reverse order. [Indicating to the board.] Here, we see them centering
upon True Parents as husband and wife. Then, becoming united with True
Parents, each individual around the world will liberate him or
herself. Then here [indicating to the board] like a minus and a plus,
they will enter into heaven.

This is where the Family Pledge comes in. Unless our mind and body
become one, and unless our family become united and we become one with
the True Parents, we cannot recite the Family Pledge. We must become
families who can represent the whole world. With each family
representing the whole world just like Adam's family. Now the trend of
the world is coming about so that a conscientious person will be
welcomed anywhere and by anyone. All of you are going in a certain
direction but what is your goal to unite with? (God.) Eventually God.
Is that the natural human desire? As a woman don't you want to become
married to the greatest man on earth? Not the second greatest but the
greatest. Is that right? (Yes.) You would like the greatest man in all
of history. Who is the qualified man on the earth? (Father.) Father
lives only for one generation here on earth. He will disappear after
one generation from the earth.

Throughout the past, present and the future who would he be who was
the greatest? "GOD!" Only God. Is God a man or a woman? (Both.) Which
one? There is no such entity as both. He is a man. How do you
distinguish man from a woman or woman from a man? Through the physical
characteristics. One is indented and one is protruded. Do you think
that God has the physical characteristics of man? Does He or does He
not? He is your own Father. (Yes.) You know more than me. I am learning
from you now. All women must become wives of God. Do you feel good?
(Yes, Father.) What is the qualification that you need? You already
have the qualification in a sense, but on top of who you presently are,
you need True Love. Then you will be qualified to marry God.

Father has drawn this diagram here depicting Adam and Eve and their
offspring. They had three children. If God dwells in Adam and Eve, then
He also dwells within all three children in an equal way, and also in
their offspring in a very equal way. Even though the generation may be
different, the fruit is the same. First, second, third generation -- it
does not matter. God dwells within each fruit in each generation. God
dwells within all of His children in the same way. The value of the
fruit is the same. No matter how many millions of years may pass, the
fruit will always be of the same value. This is one grand pattern which
guarantees all of your descendants, no matter how many generations,
passage to the Kingdom of Heaven, the same as we and our True Parents.
Do you understand? (Yes.)

God created everyone the same and each generation has the same
value in God's sight. Adam and Eve naturally represented the entire
world, even though they were individuals. Our marriage is not just one
among five billion. Rather, each couple represents the whole world. You
are representing couples, just like Adam and Eve. Do you understand?
(Yes.) You are the same level -- not a fraction of the whole, but the
whole itself. Do you understand? (Yes.) What does that mean? It means
that each child bears the same value as Adam and Eve themselves. One
husband, one wife together pledge before God to marry representing God
Himself. That is our marriage. Our marriage represents the whole
world.

Had Adam and Eve married with that genuine heart then their
marriage would have been the marriage of God also. For example, the
closer an object comes to your eyes, the less and less you see. Why?
Because you are fusing into one with it. Likewise, with God, you are
already one with Him and so there is no need to see because you are no
longer the object. When you were children did you ever taste the mucous
from your nose? (Salty.) That means that you have tried it. Why is it
not dirty to you? Because you are totally one with it, not divided and
separate. For example, the atmospheric pressure is a tremendous weight
but we do not feel it. The reason is that we are one with it. However,
if you are slightly deviated from it, you feel it. How often does your
eyelash blink each day? It blinks thousands of times but you are not
conscious of it. You are one with it. To stand and try to count it for
one hour would drive you crazy. It is so important but you do not care
or pay attention. The reason is that it is part of you.

All men and women feel your left chest and tell Father what you
feel. (Heartbeat.) How many times during the day are you conscious of
your heart beating? Even for as long as one year you may not even
notice that your heart is beating. However, if someone touches even a
strand of your hair you feel it. Why then do you not feel the beat of
your heart which is so much stronger? Why? You are already one with
your heartbeat. Do you usually wear a mask when you go to the
bathroom? (Laughter.) Even the worst person doesn't wear a mask when
he goes to the bathroom. The reason is that you are one with every
aspect of yourself. God has all of the five senses and, like us, He
does not feel them either. Just like us.

We all have love, life and lineage within us. We also have our
conscience within us, don't we? Have we ever seen, heard or touched
love and life? We may have seen a body filled with life, but we have
not seen life itself. We cannot touch life either. We cannot even see
our own seed that goes to create a baby. Can we see and touch our
conscience? Even with our five senses we are unable to sense love, life
and lineage. God is no different from us in this regard. Where is God?
This question also applies to love, life and lineage. We cannot see and
feel them but, nevertheless, they all exist in a very real sense. God
is part of us just as love, life and lineage are.

One can never experience love by one's self. Even though love
exists within us we are unable to feel it by our own selves. God is the
origin of love. He is the root of the love, life and lineage within
me. This we cannot deny. God is within the root of conscience, life,
love and lineage. When we expand the love, life and lineage within us,
then God will come to the surface. How do we do that? We accomplish
this through investing ourselves for the sake of others in a completely
selfless way. Through this total investment God can be experienced.

The birth of the universe has its origin in God. God invested
everything of Himself for the sake of His creation. [Here Father begins
to draw on the board.] Here we see God's output and on the other side
input. The very beginning of the universe came into being through the
total investment of God. For what did He invest everything? For His
True Love partner: man and woman. God's partner of love is not a
monkey. The evolution theory claims that we originate from monkeys. No
matter how wonderful an amoeba might be, it cannot give rise to life
that is in a higher form that itself. This is simply impossible unless
somebody puts in additional power. Do you think that the amoeba would
be a more likely origin to creation, or the concept of plus and minus,
male and female? (Plus and minus.) Even within the mineral kingdom
there is the existence of motion. This implies that the plus and minus
relationship is in existence; otherwise, motion cannot come into
being. And the amoeba came into being after that. If there are 108
different kinds of elements, they cannot merge into one another. No
matter how they may try, by themselves they simply cannot interact. Do
you understand? Even the amoeba must have the plus and minus element
within it.

Darwin tried to claim that an amoeba is neutral gender, but this is
not so. For example, in the daytime there are both sunlight and
shadow. However, at high noon there is no shadow. It does not mean
that shadow does not exist, it simply means that the shadow exists
within a person's perimeter. In the same way, even though it may not be
clearly visible within the amoeba as with other forms of creation,
without the plus/minus concept, no living being exists. Certainly
without the plus and minus element they cannot fuse together and give
rise to a third being.

There are forty-seven differences in construction between a monkey
and a man. Suppose we find the most handsome monkey in the whole of the
ape kingdom, and we find the ugliest woman in the world and then
everybody prays for them to produce offspring. Do you think that they
will produce new offspring? No. Absolutely, forever no. Whatever gave
Darwin the idea that man came from the monkeys? Different species
maybe, but how can monkeys give rise to man? The same family of
vegetable kingdom or animal kingdom can give rise to offspring. But if
they are different species they cannot reproduce. When you are sleeping
with your husband together do you want a third party to come and
intervene between you? (No.) Absolutely not.

Male and female elements can horizontally connect very closely, but
they can never rise up vertically. Vertically means they cannot elevate
their status. The greatest flaw in Darwinism is the idea that different
species can give rise to human beings. What he tries to do is to deny
the element of love in giving rise to the human beings. This is the
most devastating thing, because love is the origin of mankind, not
monkeys. Just because monkeys bear a physical similarity to man does
not mean that a monkey is a man. In perspective they may appear
somewhat similar, but never in essence.

How big is the aspiration of human beings? God saw the need to
implant in human beings limitless desire because God wanted his partner
to be greater than Himself. We must be aware of this very strong desire
within us and that is the action of conscience. You can imagine your
conscience as a large bag which you are able to put many things into.
How big is your conscience bag? You can put God Himself into your
conscience bag. Does that make your conscience bag full with no more
room for anything else? If your conscience bag becomes full, then you
would like to put more in your other pockets. Once everything is
absolutely full then you want to open your mouth and bring it in
there. That much. No limit. Do you have that kind of greedy desire or
not? (Yes, Father.) There is no limit to your good greed. In Korean we
say yokshim but there is no word that is equivalent in the English
language. Greedy usually means something bad. But this means a good
greed. Therefore you have to make up a word in English for this. Such
attributes of mankind began thousands of years ago when Adam and Eve
were born. Do you think that during this time this has changed? (No.)

Scientists tell us that the universe is made up of energy. Did
energy suddenly arise without any prerequisite or is it generated?
(Generated.) You have such immense love within you. Do you think that
it suddenly rose up just like that? In order for love to arise first
your eyes have to meet the eyes of either your subject or object. Some
kind of action occurs. Your five senses will further accelerate that
action. It then explodes in the power of love. In order for power to
occur is action necessary? (Yes.) Before action occurs, first there has
to be a subject and object in order for action to begin. Then action
takes place and power occurs. The scientists say that before power
there is action and prior to that there is an element of action, or
subject and object. The action of the conscience for example, means the
conscience has to be touched off, as it were, or evoked. That means
there is an action, which in turn means it must have a subject and
object relationship. This is logical. Without this no action can take
place.

Even if we may not have thought this way, we can now have it in our
mind that subject and object has to be very much there before our
conscience or our love is evoked. That is plus and minus centering upon
God. We cannot deny the existence of God when we observe the same trait
from millions of years ago, flowing down in an unchanging way through
mankind. It will eternally continue because there is a subject and
object existing within the conscience. We therefore cannot deny that
God is present there. Before we consider the theory of evolution, we
understand the Principle of Creation. We cannot deny or do away with
God.

Within creation we can conclude that God must be present; within
the subject and object relationship we can conclude that God must be
present. Do you understand? That conscious action has been unchanging
all throughout human history. Therefore we cannot deny God. Looking at
the root of love, life and lineage we also cannot deny God. [Father has
drawn a diagram depicting all of this on the board.] Looking at this we
cannot deny God. Conscience is very much present, but we are not
conscious of it all the time. God is the root of our conscience, our
love, life and lineage. The philosophical concept of, "I think and so
therefore I am" has given a great deal of confusion to mankind.

We have eyes, [Father draws on the board] eyebrows, nose and
mouth. (Laughter.) Before that eye came into being do you think the
eye itself knew that there was an object for it to see? Do you think
that eye knew that there would be air, sunlight, and dust? (Somebody
knew.) Not somebody, the eye itself? The eye itself did not know these
things. Why did the eye come into being? Eyes came into being in order
to see things. Eyes are equipped to look at the sun. Even though the
material eye is unaware, the creator behind that eye knows. Is that
true? (Yes.) Did the somebody who knew come first or did the eye, not
knowing, come first? (Somebody who knew.) That's right. Somebody knew
that there would be dust and air and so the eyelashes were created,
like a fine screen. Somebody knew that dust would exist. Also the eye
is constantly bathed in liquid. Therefore, somebody knew that there
would be heat that would dry the eye and that it would need constant
bathing in its own liquid. The eye did not know this.

Now we come to the solution of this age-old question: did the
chicken come before the egg or vice versa? (Laughter.) Which came
first, the entity or the concept? (Concept.) Concept came first. We
also have eyebrows to prevent sweat rolling into our eyes. Therefore it
seems reasonable to conclude that somebody knew that there might be
sweat on the face. Don't take everything for granted; every day when we
wash our face let us give thanks to God. All the wondrous design of the
human body God created. Remind yourself daily that God made everything
with us and our comfort in mind.

With this evidence can we say that material came first? (No.) Why
do you insist on denying it? Because it is not true. How close is God
to us? Knowing all of this we can see how close God is to each one of
us. God is the closest to each of us and that is why we don't feel
Him. If we feel only thirty percent of love, life and lineage and our
partner comes along with 100 percent of all of these, we naturally feel
seventy percent lacking. We should in fact not feel love until our
subject or object appears. Until then we should be at zero point. Then
100 percent give and take can occur. We should not feel love when we
are alone.

If God is alone He doesn't feel love. If man and woman are by
themselves they also don't feel love. But when they meet each other,
then suddenly God will jump like electricity because He feels 100
percent of love towards them. Do you understand? (Yes.) With the sudden
appearance of your spouse or your lover, then your heart pounds, you
become short of breath and you perspire until you crash into one
another. Thunder and lighting which involves water and electric current
are symbolic of love between spouses. That's nature's love in action.

Should Father end here? (NO.) Father spoke this content to the
Japanese women's seminar for three days, day and night, and they were
deeply moved and in tears. They also paid a good tuition. Therefore
should we stop here? (No.) Listen carefully then. Adam and Eve's
marriage was whose marriage? (God's marriage.) Why was it God's
marriage? If a tree married, automatically its root would marry along
with it In the same way, when man marries, the root of that man, God,
automatically marries also. The marriage means two lives joining into
one. Their conscience, life, love and lineage fuse into one. Do you
understand? Where does life and love connect? Which exact spot? (The
sexual organ.) That is correct. The love, life, lineage and conscience
all connect through that part of ourselves.

What is the starting point of life, love, lineage and conscience?
The joining of the sexual organs of man and woman. None of the ideals
of a man can ever be triggered without the sexual organ of woman. In
the same way, none of the ideals of a woman can be triggered unless a
man's sexual organ touches her. Ideal love, life, and lineage cannot
begin without this. Not even conscience. Do you understand why this is
so important? What then is the marriage ceremony? The love connection,
life connection, lineage connection and conscience connection. The
opening of that secret place and exchanging possession. That is
marriage. Do you understand? (Yes.)

The starting point of God's and man's love should not be separate.
They should commence from the same point. If there are two starting
points it will be impossible to create a unified and peaceful world.
God's and man's love have to begin at the same point. Therefore, Adam's
marriage ceremony is God's marriage ceremony. Once Adam and Eve marry
legitimately, centering upon God as their root, then Adam and Eve
become God in entity. God being invisible God, dwells within Adam and
Eve who are visible God. Do you understand? (Yes.) God being
absolutely vertical and Adam and Eve being absolutely horizontal make a
ninety degree angle. This was not easily acquired knowledge. Father
truly agonized over the solution of the question of where God's and
man's love begins from. When Father agonized he heard a voice from
heaven saying that God's love travels the shortest distance. That
shortest distance means any vertical line which intersects with a
horizontal line at a ninety degree angle. If it is ninety-one degree
angle it is too short and if it is eighty-nine degrees it is too long.
The path of True Love is an exact ninety degree angle. Man and woman's
love meet in a straight line and so does God's and they intersect at a
ninety degree angle.

This is the very central place where God's and man's love meet
[indicating to the board]. Man represents the sun and woman represents
the earth. The sun radiates towards earth. When a man becomes a great
man, his wife also becomes great. [Father draws on the board.] This
line denotes the father-son relationship, this one the husband and wife
relationship and this front and rear line denotes brothers and
sisters. This is the formula for the family system, centering upon
True Love. Centering upon True Love brothers and sisters never fight.
As a rule of thumb, if you observe brothers and sisters fighting, their
parents are not based upon True Love. Family has everything within it;
it has parents, spouses, brothers and sisters. Children are equivalent
to brothers and sisters. This is the formula and this is the unit.

If we expand this to the universal level it is the same formula:
Children's world, brothers' and sisters' world, parents world and
spouses' world. This is the formula at every level of society. Four
different levels. Each family is a real microcosm of the huge
universe. It contains everything of the universe within it. When good
education takes place within a family, when the children grow up and
move into society, then everywhere they go they will behave according
to that education. Everywhere they go they will find parent figures
and respect them; every woman a man may meet he would treat with the
same respect as his own wife and so forth. This would make such a
person welcome everywhere. This would be heaven on earth. The family
contains within itself the universal foundation. Do you understand?
(Yes, Father.)

The Unification way of life that Father has taught us is very
clear. An individual must live for and be absorbed by the family; the
family likewise must live for and be absorbed by the clan. At each
level this principle of the smaller existing for the larger exists.
This was the key of the original creation. Why do we do this? Because a
greater being comes to exist for everyone. Whatever belongs to me also
belongs to my family. Whatever belongs to my family belongs to the
tribe; the tribe's property belongs to the nation; the nation's
property belongs to the world; the world's property is cosmic property;
cosmic property belongs to God. Whatever is God's property belongs to
me. Do you understand? This makes a complete circle. Since human beings
are God's True Love partner, eventually whatever belongs to God belongs
to me. God needs a True Love Partner and that means humankind. Are you
clear? (Yes, Father.)

The Communistic and satanic concept has been that whatever the
other may have belongs to me and whatever belongs to me is mine. In
God's original ideal it was meant to be the way Father has explained to
us, because man's capacity is huge enough to be able to accommodate all
of these things. Do you understand? (Yes.) Do you think that Americans
should sell their homes and invest into Africa? (Yes.) Why? In order to
make whatever belongs to America the property of the world. The highest
should belong to the lowest, otherwise a revolving circle will not
form. Everybody wants to remain at the high point forever. However, no
other existence operates this way.

As Father has already mentioned the male and female characteristics
are invented as a plus and minus circuit. Does God have male
characteristics? Yes, He does. [Father draws on the board a male and
female.] Now which part of the human body can make these two into one
body? It is the sexual organ, isn't it? (Yes, Father.) Why, people may
wonder, why does the great leader of the Unification Church keep on
mentioning the sexual organs of human beings? (Laughter.) Because it is
a most important and holy, holy place. After the Fall it became the
worst place. But it is originally meant to be a holy, holy place.
Without the Fall this would have been the object of praise. However,
due to the Fall, today it is completely opposite. It is something to be
avoided, something vulgar. However, the key of happiness, hope and
freedom are there. Man's hope is woman. Woman's hope is man. Do you
understand? (Yes.) Man's absolute truth being is woman. Woman's
absolute truth being is man.

All of our consciences are directly inherited from God centering
upon True Love. Our True Love center is God. My conscience is vertical
me centering upon God's True Love. Body is horizontal me. Clear? The
vertical love place and the horizontal love place connect the vertical
line with the horizontal line at a ninety degree angle. The connecting
place for this connection is man and woman's sexual organs joined in
True Love. Only through this part can love, life, lineage and
conscience connect. This is the original source of love. It is the
original palace of love, the central palace of love. This is such a
blessed place -- it is the central palace for life, love, lineage and
conscience. But look at the American lifestyle today filled with free
sex. Such dirty behavior! How fearful it is to misuse this holy place.
Absolutely God does not like this misuse through homosexuality,
lesbianism, and free sex. God hates these things. America is making a
bad influence all throughout the world through this false culture.

If we cannot maintain this sacred place securely, then we cannot
keep our love, life, lineage and conscience. Do you think that Father
is over-emphasizing this point, or do you believe this to be true to
the fullest extent? (True.) True Love, True Life, True Lineage and true
conscience can never be obtained without going through the joining of
sexual organs. That is why for a husband his wife is so important and
indispensable and vice versa. Do you understand this, American women?
Seventy percent of divorce in America is said to originate from women.
Women take part actively in free sex here. This is unthinkable.
Sometimes by force, and sometimes voluntarily, it all comes from
ignorance. Women are worse than men in this regard. Is this true? (Yes,
Father.)

Even though the original ideal world has faded away throughout
history and we are left with only a trace of it, still fallen people
have within them the desire of conscience. This is hopeful for
salvation. You evaluate the situation: there is no hope in men or
women, but there is one stick which we call our conscience. Only this
conscience is the life stay remaining with us. Like a ladder here
[indicating to the board diagram] there is an individual ladder, clan
level ladder and so forth. You cannot jump over the different levels.
The shortest way is the only way in which you can travel up a ladder.
Going up step by step, this is the ladder of conscience.

We already know how this misery occurred through the Fall. The
remedy for this is to suppress our bodily desires and give rise to our
conscience. That conscience is very much bound and gagged right now. We
are longing for the day of liberation of conscience and that day will
arrive very soon. Father has already spoken about the bag or the sack
of conscience. Which do you imagine is larger: the bag of the
conscience or the bag of love? (Love bag.) What love? True Love bag or
conscience bag? (True Love bag.) Why? Because conscience is born out
of love. If we think of love as plus, then conscience is in minus
position to love. If you place True Love into the bag of conscience and
everything is so filled up, you don't desire anything else. Do you know
that there is such a thing as love sickness? (Yes.) Once this bag of
love and conscience is filled, all you need to do is dance, sing and
enjoy life. You find that you are happy in whatever position you may be
in. If you run, roll over, or stumble and hurt yourself you will remain
happy. (Laughter.) Whatever you do you are only happy.

Now we know how we are able to subjugate our body to its master,
conscience. We have already transferred our lineage from the false
parents into True Parents' lineage and so we should be able to
accomplish this. Let us march forward towards the era of the
liberation of conscience. In order to do so we have to accomplish these
three points [indicating to what Father has written on the board].
Until now we did not realize that the conscience played the crucial
role of bringing us from the evil to the good world. Did we inherit our
conscience at our birth? No. It was before life. It has always been
with God. The conscience remains the same constantly. My parents are
only connected to me by one generation before me. Therefore, conscience
is more important than my parents. My conscience is my utmost teacher
because it is directly connected with God. Do you understand? (Yes,
Father.) You don't need a teacher. God is an absolute teacher.
Conscience existed before life itself, and it is my best teacher.

If the Fall didn't take place we would not need to think about God
because we would be God, dwelling with Him. We can be higher than God
Himself, thanks to conscience. When Father realized this it was really
a shocking moment. All these great men of religion and philosophy have
been teaching this and that, giving rise to a lot of confusion, while
they themselves died in vain. Father really felt hollow and sad to
think about this reality. When we live in the days of the liberation of
conscience then everything will be God-oriented.

When God created He did not have a partner. Now that we realize
that we are the partner to God we will request Heavenly Father,
"Heavenly Father, we want to make the world into the world of
conscience. Please help us." Do you think that God would help us or
not? He has a partner, I have a partner. If we ask God to recreate the
fallen universe with a serious heart He would do it. It stands to
reason that He would. With God, nothing is impossible. Only if we exert
our power we can recreate the universe one hundred times larger than
the existing universe. Through this we begin to understand how precious
is man's value. Now look at mankind. Compared to the original value of
man and the way they have reduced their value, they appear as maggots
by comparison.

Do you think that God or your conscience knows first what you do?
(Conscience.) Clearly your conscience knows first. Your conscience
knows whatever you have done good or bad in your life thus far. It is
like your heavenly computer. What is your name? (Heidi.) In the
spiritual world Heidi's tape will be played back to her and in one
minute she will review her whole life's deeds. How convenient is that
place! Do you want to go there? (Yes.) You will, after you die.
(Laughter.) Therefore you need to know these things.

First, conscience exists ahead of True Parents; second, conscience
exists ahead of teacher; and third, conscience exists ahead of God
Himself. Even the most loving parents, since they are older than you,
can never stay until you go to the spiritual world in order to protect
you. However, conscience will. After parents marry their daughter to
one man, then their protection of their daughter ends. However, that
daughter's conscience will protect her the rest of her life and even
beyond. Your conscience will protect you always from going astray.
Therefore we must understand that before God knows our actions, our
conscience is already aware. Conscience exists even before God. If you
fully understand and follow what Father has taught you this morning,
then your style of prayer should change. Where does God live? In the
True Love dwelling place. Where is that? (Sexual organ.) The most holy,
holy place. We must restore it again to the most holy place and protect
it forever. Do you understand? (Yes.)

Therefore, when you wake up and throughout the day you have to give
thanks to your holy place. Actually we should bow down to one another
as husband and wife for each other's holy place. Do you understand?
(Yes.) That place is the starting place of heaven on earth and in
heaven. Without this the Kingdom of Heaven on earth cannot come into
existence. Happiness, hope, peace and freedom all want to live on that
base. But without this holy place none of these ideal concepts can come
into being. Are you clear? (Yes, Father.) This place is the universal
ideal center. Now you understand how precious is that place. Do you
understand or not? (Yes.)

Through the Fall we lost everything -- the True Self, True Family,
nation, world, and universe. All things were lost, including God
Himself. Centering upon True Love the vertical Father is God. Now we
understand everything. You have to realize just how great and joyful is
our position. We should feel pride and gratitude to be in such a
position. If you share this with the world you can instantly create a
revival of such a strong magnitude. It depends whether or not you
decide to keep your mouth closed or open it and share this content. You
have to open your mouths and share this truth in order to help your
brothers and sisters to resurrect. Can you do this? (Yes, Father.)
Those of us who feel that we can do this let us raise both of our
hands.
